  • Animation - Replay the logged data in real-time, slow-motion or sped-up
  • Entity Time Origin - Make two different logs synch for easy comparison (even if they were recorded at different times)

Supported log formats

  • NMEA - The standard GPS data format
  • Garmin GPX - XML-based format by Garmin (with Heart Rate support)
  • ANT+ FIT - Binary format with Heart Rate, Cadence and Power support - used by e.g. Garmin Edge 500.

Note: Acceleration values not supported directly from DriftBox files - Save as .vbo files with DriftBox Tools.
When saving as VBO-file, check all boxes except 'RMS Position Error' - a bug in DriftBox-tools creates bad log files when it is checked.
See screenshots of the save dialog.

Supported chart/circuit formats

  • In dev version: Racelogic .cir - Circuit Overlay format to show track outline
